So here is how i made my foot pedal used to start Linux terminal using an Arduino. It’s made because I am board of pressing the terminal icon with my mouse. P.S. Sorry for my English. I am from Croatia. Tools needed: -Soldering iron and some solder -Wire clippers or any other cutting tool -Screwdriver […]

I wanted to make it possible to control an arduino board from my phone. So that I could control other devices. the easiest way seemed to be using bluetooth. but when I received the parts needed I found it want quite as simple as I had hoped. And after looking on the Internet I didn’t

Bootloading an Arduino with a ZIF socket allows you to easily program a lot of chips at once without worrying about mangling the pins. The reason for this is that ZIF stands for “zero insertion force,” and as the name implies, ZIF sockets don’t require any force to take the chip in or out. This

Have you ever wanted to, without going out of your way to clock your processor, see how much stress your computer is under? With this project you will have a simple bar graph that constantly shows how much stress your computer is under. If the graph reads 0, your computer isn’t working too much. If

What it is: An Arduino-based light-sensitive switch for turning on a desktop computer. Why its cool: Use a Sonic Screwdriver to turn on your computer! Story: This project started, as I’m sure a lot of them do, as a result of boredom and the thought “Wouldn’t it be cool if…”. I am a fan of

A computer is a very handy thing to use in your robots. If you start listing all the features that can be used for robotic purposes you’ll find that it is cheaper to buy a netbook than buying LCD, wifi and bluetooth modules, cameras, speech synthesizer modules, keypads, memory card readers, speakers and many other stuff.

Objective: Overcome your fear of computers! If you can count to two, then you can master the basics of computers. If you think computers are smarter than you, you are wrong and I will prove it. For normal people, just follow the LOG: comments. Computers are dumb: comments tell you the computer’s point of view.
Computers are Dumb Continue Reading
In the following tutorial, directions are given for creating a single node for the DoHas (Distributed Optical Harvard Architecture System). After constructing two of these nodes, a small distributed computer can be implemented which uses one node for sending instructions, mimicking input and the instruction set to manage it, and another node which will act

Description: here we have created an java desktop application using neatbeans. this application turn on led on arduino. this application also work in your LAN. Step 1: Assigning MAc and IP to Arduino board UPLOAD THIS PROGRAM TO ARDUINO. ALSO CHANGE YOUR MAC AND IP ACCORDING YOUR NETWORK. /* UDPSendReceive.pde: This sketch receives UDP message
Arduino desktop application on java in LAN Continue Reading
Oscar Gonzalez gives us a simple tutorial for speed controlling a PC FAN and reading a LM35 temperature sensor with an Arduino microcontroller. He covers the use of an optocoupler, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and reading analog voltages with the Arduino. He even has a video showing the fan speed control in action. This article
